Obama minions: We're smarter, better-looking than you

Fundraising email pokes fun at potential donors

Bob Unruh joined WND in 2006 after nearly three decades with the Associated Press, as well as several Upper Midwest newspapers, where he covered everything from legislative battles and sports to tornadoes and homicidal survivalists. He is also a photographer whose scenic work has been used commercially.

Using a comical approach, the latest fundraising email from BarackObama.com essentially says, “We’re smarter and better-looking than you, so give us money.”

The email Wednesday from Organizing for Action, the nonprofit social welfare organization and community organizing project that advocates for Obama’s agenda, urges people to be “a part of something special.”

“Fact: OFA members are fighting every day for real progressive change,” it states.

“Fact: OFA members are making a difference in D.C. and right in our own backyards.”

It concludes: “Fact: OFA members are smarter, better looking, and better at basketball than most people.*”

The complaint alleged the Obama campaign systematically violated the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 and the regulations of the FEC by “soliciting, processing, accepting and confirming contributions from foreign nationals and non-U.S. citizens” in contravention of federal law.

“Bin Laden’s” foreign donors page was not removed by the Obama campaign after a WND report prior to the election found that the same “bin Laden” account had successfully donated twice to Obama’s presidential re-election campaign. After the WND report, one of the donations was officially returned while another was listed as pending.
